Creators of Live will deliver 1 to 2 sketches from which one or more designs can be selected. The selected sketch(s) will be developed. After approval of such a design, and the quotation prepared for it, this design can be considered as a product of the Client, which serves as a basis for further creative development. Client will receive 1 to 2 sketches from which one can be chosen. The design of the first choice will be made and the Client can choose color variations.
